Yeah, cool. Drink some booze, screw some women, play some pool. You're gonna die eventually. Get over it. Life goes on.

"Drinking booze"? I would never do anything so ridiculously stupid. In fact, if what I just said elicited this type of response from you... Then I can only say that I hope the subject of this thread occurs for you much swifter and with more severity than it will for me. I feel like it's what you deserve. Debauchery is the last thing I'd participate in. And no. When you die, life doesn't go on. That's the end, pal.

A letter you clearly did not read or lack the understanding to appreciate. Everyone dies. There is no timer. There is no pink slip. It happens when it happens. Life is not extraordinary and your life, my life, is absolutely useless and mundane. My original post was a paraphrase from Common People by Pulp and I altered it to fit my point. Then the conversation I had with Troid afterwards further hammered my point. If you've ever heard the song we referenced, you'd maybe understand better.

I'm sorry I'm not a loser who wants to drink alcohol and get wasted all the time like a dumbass. Especially when this thread was directly inspired by an incident with my drunk mother and my sober father having a violent row downstairs with broken glass and an injured family pet. Excuse me for being a little "pretentious". [quote]I had to read this a couple times just to make sure that you actually meant you wanted me to die... I am very confused by your response. [/quote]Then I'd suggest laying off the booze. It was rather plainly and clearly written. [quote]This line is what sealed the deal. You didn't understand my post at all. [/quote]I honestly don't care at all. Your apparent badass, binge-drinking, pool-playing persona reduced your credibility to shreds within an instant. Whatever you were trying to convey initially, I just do not care.

Edited by Literatim: 3/9/2014 7:05:53 AMNo. I [i]refuse[/i] to understand [i]shitty[/i] symbolism. Especially when you're going to be so cavalier about it, because you think you're "cool" or whatever. Do better.

You lose the carefree spirit of childhood. You realize that life is not beautiful, that is mundane and scary. It eventually ends. [quote][url=http://youtu.be/ainyK6fXku0]You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance, and drink, and screw! Because there's nothing else to do![/url][/quote]This is the plot of the common person. My post was not to be taken literally as to just dance and drink and play some pool. Of course, if you want to, go ahead. It was ironic. There is no meaning to life. There is no reason to sit there and contemplate when or fear your inevitable death. It will happen. So why worry? Resign yourself to your life. It's no shitty symbolism, you are just young and have a chip on your shoulder.

Edited by Literatim: 3/9/2014 7:14:20 AMIt's pretty shitty, though. You're basically saying "don't worry", but the only thing you use to back it up with is "it's inevitable". The fact that it's inevitable is [i]all the more reason[/i] to worry. You're just being useless and cavalier, and adding nothing to the discussion. Oh. And the song sucks, too.

Oh yes, there sure are a lot of them... look at all those other people contributing and having meaningful discussions with you. Also, stop using cavalier, it does not fit my posts. Nonchalant would work better, but not cavalier. [quote]Oh. And the song sucks, too.[/quote]I love opinions. Especially when I offered two songs and only got negative input about one. One is heralded as a timeless American Classic and the other was Pulp's biggest hit and even has a whole documentary about it and the cultural impact of class slumming, which is the song's actual topic. Which one did you dislike?

[quote]I'm saying don't worry because there is nothing that can be done. Only worry about the stuff you can change. Hence the letter of resignation. [/quote]Worrying about the stuff you can change and worrying about the inevitable are one in the same. If you don't worry about the stuff you can change, you will die faster. So worry about the stuff you can change. Oh wait. I thought you weren't worried about death? [quote]And all these other people are adding input your post that is worthwhile. Oh yes, there sure are a lot of them... look at all those other people contributing and having meaningful discussions with you.[/quote]Argumentum ad populum... [quote]Also, stop using cavalier, it does not fit my posts. Nonchalant would work better, but not cavalier.[/quote]You don't get to choose how you come off. Please refer to my godliness when speaking with me, in that case.

[quote][quote] And all these other people are adding input your post that is worthwhile. Oh yes, there sure are a lot of them... look at all those other people contributing and having meaningful discussions with you.[/quote] Argumentum ad populum...[/quote]Try again. I don't think you know what that fallacy is. You were saying I wasn't contributing when I am literally the only person contributing. I've made my case and you've made a weird string of insults and illogical reasoning. I don't know what else to say besides accept the inevitable. Learn that to worry about death is a waste of time. Enjoy your useless existence, none of this means anything. Drink and dance and screw because there is nothing else to do. Or be pretentious. Your choice. You'll die sooner or later and it's not like it will matter. Innocence lost.
-
And you're trying to justify your lack of contribution by saying no one else has. Right. Yes, you are appealing to the majority. Enjoy your shitty nihilistic perspective. And because you're apparently too stupid to know what "cavalier", "argumentum ad populum", and my first insult I dished out at you means, allow me to spell it out: Yes, I hope you die much sooner than I will. And you will, if you're going to be a fucking retarded nihilist. Or as I like to call them, a nobrainilist.

And you will, if you're going to be a fucking retarded nihilist. Or as I like to call them, a nobrainilist.[/quote]I understand perfectly well what you meant. I have been contributing. We've been having a discussion about what it means to contemplate death. The folly of it or the merit of it. Just because I don't agree with you, doesn't mean I'm not contributing, I very much am and for a while was the only one contributing. That is not appealing to anything but the truth. I understand what cavalier means, that's why I asked you to use another word to describe me with and don't get why you used it twice, editing it in afterwards even. I was also confused as to why my post was met with such hostility immediately, I was not confused by what you were saying at all. Just the tone and intent of it. What could have been civil, you decided had to be personal. You should blunt that edge, that way we can have a civil discussion next time.
-
lol, at this conversation
-
Yeah, I probably look like an idiot. It's late, I worked all day, and I'm not even sure what's being discussed anymore.
-
[quote]I probably look like an idiot.[/quote]I can confirm this.
-
You got a problem with me? Is this an alt or something of someone who doesn't like me as a person? Because I didn't realize it was so difficult to be good-natured about things.
-
I thought it was good-natured of me. You used the word "probably", which implies that you aren't quite sure. I diluted any such confusion, for your sake.
-
I'm trying to sleep but I ate too many carbs for dinner.
-
Yeah, I went to an Alamo Drafthouse after work for a friends Birthday. I had a Royale with Cheese and like three refills of Mr. Pibb. I am not sleeping anytime soon. I have church in the morning and -blam!- life.
-
I'm probably just going to play Xbox tomorrow and watch Hockey, so yeah. What kind of job do you have?
-
I work on the floor of a grocery store restocking and unloading. I also do cashier work. It's just until I graduate high school and get my ship date, though. I needed cash for gas and this is my meal ticket.
-
I know someone who had a similar job but in a liquor store in a college town. That sounds like a bothersome job.
-
Oh it is. Mind numbingly tedious. 6-11 hours of rearranging boxes and milk and cans. It's not difficult and I enjoy it. It's just tedious.
-
Oh yeah, life goes on...
-
Long after the thrill of living is gone.
